Looking at life through a blurred lens

I hate it when you've taken what you thought was an amazing photo, then looked at it later and realised its blurry. But sometimes I think there's something really interesting about blurred images, an element of surrealism or ethereal-ness. Like the edges of time and reality are blurring, oops started to sound a bit too doctor who there (:

Incidentally though, did anyone see Torchwood last week? Amazing!

But back to the point, these are some pictures a friend (the very lovely flo again!) took of me, and the blur is on purpose. I think they look really good. I love the way the dress flows.

you friend is amazing at photography.i wish i had a friend like yours to take pictures for my blog, i have my sister and thats it haha.and as if you love audrey hepburn too, shes like my idol. i have a lot of audrey canvas' in my room and i really love all her films especially funny face, which is your favourite audrey film? xox

Oh em gee! I don't care whether you get too psychologist or doctor-ish on the post.. you are so right! I love your pictures! Really beautiful and the blur effect adds a wonderful twist to the essence of the picture. Love your dress and props to the photographer. check out my trendy blog!http://thetrendydwarf.blogspot.com/

No i didnt see Torchwood i was gutted i had all planned on watching it but completely forgot it was on and it got to friday and i was like omg i have missed it! Haha you did sound a tad dr who like there but he is a legend i cant believe david tennant is leaving *insert tear rolling down cheek here* The photography is amazing though the blurriness gives it another depth.

I've always loved blurs. Back when I lived in NYC, after university, my friend BK used to shoot me as his muse (pre blog, alas) and we'd do deliberate blur shots with slow film. I keep asking him to dig up those shots. Now, with my own blog, my husband is often saying I shouldn't use a shot because it's blurry but to me it's not a flaw, it's art.
